I love this! My poor sweetheart who is not a horror movie fan suffers every October - when I watch nothing but horror movies. I like a lot of horror movies (and maybe have a pretty broad definition of horror) so narrowing down my favorites is hard!

Ooo, yes, I love The Thing! I kind of feel like it's two movies: one, the creeping quiet horror movie that I love and two, this crazy movie where I forgot about all these special effects, every. single. time.

Did you see the prequel? Disclaimer: I hated it.

Yes, I thought it was ok but I didn't feel that it was in period at all. I wonder if there are now plans for a sequel concerning the Russian base. I love the sense of claustrophobia and paranoia in the John Carpenter film!

I guess some of may be iffy as to whether they're really horror, but here are some of my favorites:SaunaCrawlspaceAn American Werewolf in LondonDead SnowTucker and Dale vs Evil (more of a comedy, I guess)RavenousRare Exports (it's listed under horror, but it's a Christmas tradition here)Trick 'r TreatTroll Hunter

This is a great list. Add Basket Case (soooo cheesy but special) and you're golden!

Yes, Hausu is awesome! I've never seen Gozu or Fad, but I'll have to check them out.

There are also a couple of sequels to Basket Case, but I've never seen either of them so I have no idea if they're awesome or awesomely bad or just bad.

Fad is very good. The same directors who did Shutter, Banjong Pisanthanakun and Parkpoom Wongpoom. Gozu is ... well, it's Miike. The director of Audition, Ichi the Killer, Happiness of the Katakuris, Dead or Alive, The Great Yokai War, Sukiyaki Western Django. Gozu is bizarre even by Miike standards.

No, I will have none of this! Dead Snow was great. I went to see it with some friends, none of us knowing anything about it other than 'Nazi zombies', and after the initial sense of 'what the fork is happening', it was an awesome time.
